OCCT11001 - Introduction to Activity and Occupation

General Information

Unit Synopsis

This unit will build on knowledge and skills gained in OCCT11002 (Introduction to Occupational Therapy Theory and Practice) through exploration of occupational therapy assessment and intervention processes involving activity and occupation as core concepts. You will become familiar with a range of common meaningful occupations and learn how to undertake an occupational therapy activity analysis. Concepts of participation limitations at the person level will be introduced. You will engage in a variety of workshop activities that link key theoretical concepts to occupational therapy practice contexts for activity analysis. You will explore ways of grading and adapting activities to enable client participation.
